How 'bout you Jimmie, you an oak man?

The Tree Is Up.

And it is good.

True story: I took the three-piece pre-lit tree out of the box on Saturday. While trying to put the tree in its stand, I noticed that the stand looked like it was missing the screw-top that twists to lock the tree in place. Frustrated, I ended up buying a new stand at Wal-Mart yesterday.

And what did I inevitably discover? I was trying to put the *second*, middle piece of the tree into the stand, when the third, bottom piece of the tree had the screw-top as part of the pole.
